A method for the satellite-based localization of a vehicle in a map-based reference system. A trajectory in a map-based reference system is determined at regular time intervals, on which trajectory the vehicle is to be brought to a stop at least partially automatically in a defined emergency, and are stored in a circular buffer. In the defined emergency and in the event of failure of the at least one camera used for the full localization, an emergency trajectory is selected from the trajectories stored in the circular buffer. An initial vehicle position in the map-based reference system is determined based on the emergency trajectory. A vehicle orientation is ascertained based on a continuously acquired yaw rate of the vehicle. The stretch of route traveled by the vehicle is ascertained based on position data of the vehicle that are acquired in a satellite-based manner.

Method and control unit for the satellite-based localization of a vehicle in a map-based reference system

In the case of a method for determining the braking force in an electromechanical brake device having a brake motor, the braking force is determined from a prevailing load current that is determined from the difference between the measured motor current and the calculated switch-on current.

Method for determining the braking force in an electromechanical brake device having an electric brake motor

A method for operating a parking brake which has an actuator with an actuating element and an electric motor, the electric motor is operatively connected to the actuating element in order to displace the latter, the electric motor is actuated in order to displace the actuating element by a predefined movement travel, and an actual movement travel of the actuating element is monitored in order to actuate the electric motor. The method includes determining the actual movement travel of the actuating element in a manner which is dependent on a motor current and/or a motor voltage of the electric motor.

Method and device for operating a parking brake

The disclosure relates to a method for operating a braking device, in particular a parking brake device, which comprises an actuator having an electric motor that displaces an actuator element as desired into a brake application position or into a brake release position, wherein the electric motor is controlled in dependence upon a motor constant and an electrical resistance of the electric motor, characterized in that as the actuator element is displaced a prevailing motor input voltage and a prevailing motor current are ascertained, and that the motor constant and the electrical resistance are determined in dependence upon the ascertained motor input voltage and the ascertained motor current.

Method and device for operating a braking device, braking device

A method of actuating a parking brake for a vehicle having an electromechanical brake device in a situation whereat driving dynamics state information is not available in the vehicle and whereat a driver operates the parking brake includes producing an electromechanical braking force with a magnitude that is less than a maximum braking force of the parking brake.

Method for actuating a parking brake in a vehicle

A method for setting a parking brake includes determining a standard deviation from a current curve of an electric brake motor. The current curve is based on measured current valued. The method further includes determining an electromechanical clamping force. The electromechanical clamping force can be determined based on a correcting current or the current values of the brake motor. The correcting current is determined if the standard deviation exceeds a limit value and motor parameters of the brake motor being determined using the correcting current. The parking brake includes an electromechanical braking mechanism having the electric brake motor configured to generate an electromechanical clamping force.

Method for setting a parking brake in a vehicle

A method for determining a triggering condition for recalibration in an automatic parking brake includes determining a motor current which is expected at a predetermined time during a release process of the automatic parking brake. The method includes identifying motor current for a brake motor in the automatic parking brake that generates an electromechanical braking force during operation and releases the electromechanical braking force during the release process.
